Satsumo Santa Ballistic

It seems that Lush are very keen on having some sort of Santa-shaped ballistic as part of their seasonal range each year. For the last three consecutive years, we've been blessed with the rather lovely and aptly named, Father Christmas. However, before this bath bomb graced our presence, there was a popular ballistic known as Satsumo Santa. I originally found out about this product through a friend of mine, who had been rather peeved one year...

Ginger Lotion Body Lotion

To be honest, I don't really know why I invested in a pot of Ginger Lotion, other than because I have an impulse to buy every Lush product available. Sharing it's scent with both the Ginger Perfume range, and the now-discontinued Badass Shower Gel, the spicy-floral fragrance of Ginger was one of the first fragrances Lush ever created, back in the days when they were known as Cosmetics to Go. Given that I despised the shower gel, I was not expecting...

Summer Skin Competition!

Despite someone maliciously ruining the last competition without any real reason for doing so, I still want to share my love of Lush with one of you lucky people!  It's almost summer time and the sun is beginning to show itself behind the months of clouds and rain we've experienced over here in England. Very soon, we'll have to start showing our skin once again, and perhaps you're just not ready to reveal it yet. I've put together a selection...

Twinkle Bath Bomb

I've had this bath bomb tucked away for a couple of years now; it's one I completely forgot that I had. It was only recently, when I decided to sort out my Lush drawer, that I found it hidden beneath the larger ballistics. Lush describe the ballistic as 'compact, and delightful, - scented with our glorious Shimmy Shimmy fragrance and shimmers tastefully with golden sparkles. This is our new favourite and we don't want it to leave us..."Released...

Sikkim Girls Liquid Perfume

A couple of years ago, Lush released a series of different perfumes under their 'Gorilla Perfumes' guise. Unlike anything they, or any other company for that matter, had yet done, Lush's new perfume set showcased an arrange of unique, weird and wonderful scents - smells you could never imagine working as a perfume, but which did, beautifully. Furthermore, to make them more interesting, Lush sold these perfumes in an arrange of different shaped and...

Snow Showers Shower Gel

When I first got my greedy mitts on a bottle of Snow Showers Shower Gel, I wasn't overly enamoured with the scent. In the bottle, it gives off a slightly citrusy smell, very similar to how orange squash smells before it's been diluted. For this reason, it was nothing worth writing home about and I stuck it to back of my pile, with the hope of using it up whenever I got around to doing so. However, once I started using it in the shower, I was instantly...

Coalface Solid Cleanser

There is something incredibly off-putting about black 'soap'. I don't know whether my concern stems from my less than pleasant experience with Dark Angels, or whether there's an element of fear that black is a rather 'permanent' colour - what would happen if my face was stained after using it? What would happen if I stained my bath/walls etc... after using this? What would happen if I stained....?Despite my worries, I knew I would have to face it...

Sex Bomb Bath Bomb

For the last few months, I've been surviving on barely five hours of sleep a night, something which may be tolerable for people with next to nothing to do, but for someone who works twelve hours a day, is next to impossible. I just don't know how I'm managing to survive. However, those long days are ever-so-slightly redeemed when I am able to enjoy a good soak in the bath with my favourite Lush products.Sex Bomb is a sensual bath ballistic that possesses...

Cinders Bath Bomb

Cinders was actually the first Christmas bath ballistic I ever tried, back when I visited a Lush shop perhaps once a year at most. I remember choosing it because firstly; it smelt of cinnamon, my favourite herb, and secondly; because it happened to be the cheapest one available at the time.Packed full of almond oil, sweet orange and cinnamon leaf, this is the perfect bath bomb for anyone wanting to experience Christmas in a bath tub. To me, it smells...

Chai Shower Gel

Chai Shower Gel was a product that I knew straight away I wouldn't love. As strange as it is to say, I have never understood the English's obsession with tea; it may be nice as an occasional drink, but its definitely not a taste or scent that I would rave about. Yet there are so many people I know that are unable to get through a full day of work without a few mugs of the herbal beverage, and then there are those that would pick the drink over anything...

My Perfume Collection

I've amassed a rather large selection of perfumes over the past year, some regulars, some rare and some incredibly rare. I love each and every one of them in their own way, and it's the only part of my Lush collection that is getting bigger by the day. I love being able to wake up each and every morning and wear a different scent to work - it's wonderful knowing that I could use a different perfume every day and not have to repeat a scent in almost...
